Ford Group 6 Matchbox 1969 Superfast 1:64 Made in England Loose Green

Ford Group 6 is a racing diecast model produced in England in 1969 as a Matchbox Superfast model with catalogue number 45. The car has a compact, aerodynamic body inspired by track cars, with a low roofline, a strongly defined front and wide wheel arches. The metallic green body gives it a distinctive appearance, while the yellow windows create a clear contrast with the paintwork. The lower part of the model is completed by a black plastic base, referred to as the Superfast chassis. The metal construction provides the sturdiness typical of vintage models, while the short length of approximately 74 mm corresponds to the 1:64 scale. The example is in loose condition, meaning outside its original packaging, with possible signs of storage and use. It is a simple yet highly recognisable example of the early Superfast series, interesting both for its sporting subject matter and its late-1960s styling.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
